I just received the letter and read briefly through it. From my understanding the benefits of careshield >> eldershield. Pte disability insurance is not cheap one bro. I got one insuring up to X amount/year and the premium is subject to yearly review. Edited September 9, 2020 by Lala81 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because if worth the money, I want to upgrade the cover i get the impression that cpf products all Super worth it one because my friend say he outside find the annuity cannot compare with cpf life payout rate so I want to find out more about eldershield vs careshield. Also can upgrade the shield one we all middle age one, careshield is auto opt in but not compulsory. Can opt out. But opt out is become eldershield Edited September 9, 2020 by Mustank 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time u can claim it, u won't have the physical or mental capability to surf mcf... But the most impt for careshield. It's life long. Even if u are badly disabled, u can easily go on for another 10-20 years if your health isn't too bad. In fact for eldershield if it still continued on I wouldn't have paid for it cos it's only payout for 3 years Iirc. I told my parents that small amount of money doesn't matter much to them. And it's something me or my sis can easily fork out. Edited September 9, 2020 by Lala81 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallaw819 4th Gear September 9, 2020 Share September 9, 2020 If you indeed claim careshield > eldershield. Eldershield only 6 years but careshield life long. careshield payout higher too, which will take care of the higher careshield premium (1 month claim about 1 year extra premium paid). so careshield > eldershield 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToyotaShuttle 5th Gear September 9, 2020 Share September 9, 2020 Frankly, I think it is not for me and shouldn't be compulsory. If I am "severely disabled", I think I will consider euthanasia rather than live on - esp if I am already old and seen what I wanna see and done what I wanna do. So this is just waste of my premium $$$ to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best not to involve anyone else or they could be in trouble after that. Edited September 10, 2020 by ToyotaShuttle 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dp26 5th Gear September 10, 2020 Share September 10, 2020 ElderShield also have lifetime payout if you engage one of the private insurers. I’m also quite sure Careshield will soon have the private insurer portion also... just like our MediShield , basic basic only, still need private shield plan to supplement it unless you ok with the lower coverage and such. always need to top up a bit more to enhance to a more decent level. the main advantage for Careshield is covering existing condition. this itself is much superior ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
